Overload Induction Script

Overload Induction Script for resistant clients

The Overload Induction Script is designed for anxious clients. In hard-to-hypnotize people it works by focusing their attention on what they see, or hear or physically feel. You force them to attend to too many different things at the same time. This overloads their mind.

The overload induction works for any clients, but is especially useful for clients who can't go into trance normally. For resistant clients it stops the intrusive thoughts that interfere with trance. Hypervigilant clients are too busy scanning for threats to listen to your hypnotic suggestions. Over-analytical clients are fully involved in testing every line you say for logical inconsistencies. All these types find that the overload induction gives them so many things to keep track of, that it actually leads them into trance.

The script shows how to use whatever is happening in the environment. You get the client to focus on each input as it occurs, piling on the sensory inputs and without giving them time to deal with any one sensation before moving on. It works because it overwhelms their internal dialogue.  It gives them too many suggestions to keep track of them all. And so their mind just gives up, stops trying, and accepts whatever you say.

Use the Overload Induction Script when dealing with analytical and hyper-vigilant clients. Switch to it immediately if you feel that your client is not responding to your normal induction.
